Item Description
A dramatic and exceptional 360-degree combination from this well-known Southern Illinois fluorite mine. The three imposing spearpoint barite blades are translucent, lustrous and have striking color zoning. They look like reticulated cerussite blades on one view! The pristine, perched, etched, bi-colored fluorite crystal is a super accent. Glassy barite blades are peppered on the purple fluorite "floor". Essentially pristine, with only trivial periphery wear to the barites. An outstanding and aesthetic piece from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Every turn presents a totally different perspective!
